== English Wiki ==

Please be aware that this is the ''english wikipedia''. Hence, people should be referred to by the names common in the english-speaking world, if they differ from their polish name. This list suffers from the fact that the editors seem to prefer the polish names. E.g., nobody uses Skłodowska for Marie Curie, I'm afraid. BTW, the 'mixed heritage' given for 'fairness and accuracy' appears to be a quite random thing...

Anyone think it is a bit of a stretch to have the French-born Jewish-Polish-American Polanski be a representative of Poles in Entertainment? Perhaps we could get someone more representative if an image is necessary at all. ] 10:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
